13:48:46 <shapr> yow! wassup?
13:51:15 <crschmidt> I'm dressing up in an ill-fitting IVY-LEAGUE SUIT!! Too late...
13:51:33 <kpreid> shapr hasn't been here since last year
13:51:45 <crschmidt> (Sorry, my default reaction to "yow!" is /exec -o fortune zippy)
13:53:16 *** Morbus (n=morbus@morbus.totalnetnh.net) has joined #swhack
14:04:34 <shapr> I've decided that 'yow' is my default swearword.
14:04:43 <shapr> What better way to immortalize Zippy?
14:05:06 <shapr> kpreid: I'm trying to pry myself out of my rut and get a real job.
14:05:34 <crschmidt> ew, a real job ;)
14:05:46 <shapr> That is, I'm trying to do a software startup.
14:05:51 <crschmidt> Ah
14:05:54 <crschmidt> That's not a real job :)
14:05:56 <shapr> Hey, this is #swhack
14:06:05 <shapr> Real Job means something else here.
14:06:58 * crschmidt decided that he doesn't have the guts to lead a startup at the moment
14:07:19 <shapr> I have no money anyway, so ...
14:07:31 <shapr> I'm way tired of being an employee, that much I know.
14:09:51 * crschmidt nods.
14:10:16 <crschmidt> Mostly it's that I don't think I could be a leader of a group of people, and deal with the responsibility of making-or-breaking the business.
14:10:31 <crschmidt> I'd rather let someone else deal with the business/money end, and just work for startups and try to make them succeed
14:17:34 <shapr> Yeah, but 'leader' has a very wide definition.
14:18:01 <shapr> I'm fine with leading a startup, but I will never do anything without an accountant.
14:18:15 <shapr> plus at the moment I don't have any startup money, just ideas and code.
14:18:56 <shapr> (and a partner)
14:20:01 <crschmidt> Sure, but the accountant doesn't, for example, pitch to VCs for you.
14:20:37 <shapr> I can do that part just fine.
14:20:56 <crschmidt> And I don't think I could :)
14:21:22 <shapr> I'm good at selling stuff I believe in, and I'm charismatic.
14:21:38 <shapr> I am not particularly consistent. That is my greatest flaw :-(

18:36:48 <sbp> gimme a moment, searching
18:37:00 * kpreid isn't even sure where he should be looking
18:38:54 <sbp> it was a page on a personal website in a section devoted to language, and it covered a kind of archaic typographical guideline to make it look like a strange mix of Old English, Middle English, and Early Modern English. the colour scheme was grey on black
18:39:26 <sbp> the page was devoted to describing itself, i.e. describing the typographical conventions used
18:39:43 <kpreid> I can't say offhand that I've seen it, no
18:41:51 <sbp> woah! I just found it by utter fluke
18:42:02 <sbp> I figured that jcowan would've been the one who showed me it
18:42:20 <sbp> so I did:
18:42:20 <sbp> sbp@manxome:/web/swhack.com/logs$ grep 'jcowan.*http' 200*-*-*.txt | less
18:42:29 <sbp> then regretted it a bit because of the size of the output
18:42:40 <sbp> but I skimmed down to roughly when I thought it was, looked at a handful of URIs
18:42:50 <sbp> tried one, tried another... it was the second one that I tried! hooray
18:42:52 <Morbus> sbp: do you have any info or knowledge regarding awesomeness of author-scribbled footnotes in a copy of their own manuscript?
18:42:54 <sbp> 2005-08-25.txt:17:39:23 <jcowan> sbp: http://everywitchway.net/linguistics/languages/english/reform.html should be a thing after your own heart.
18:43:12 <sbp> 'ello Morb! hmm... awesomeness in what way?
18:43:28 <sbp> Fermat's Last Theorem was, for example, expressed in a sidenote to one of Fermat's documents
18:43:41 <Morbus> like "holy crap, stansilaw lem's draft copy of solaris. ahahaha. check it out. page 23. "jesus, I hope clooney doesn't play this guy."" etc.
18:44:30 <sbp> so, like, awesome code comments and things like that?
18:44:41 <Morbus> yeah, pretty much. i coulda swore we had a discussion about this once before.
18:44:41 <sbp> a la the Morbus? :-)
18:45:03 <Morbus> about personal author copies of their own manuscripts with never before revealed footnotes and insights and dislikes and blah blah.
18:45:06 <sbp> perhaps it was the one with jcowan where he was talking about easter eggs in books?
18:45:11 <Morbus> the reason I ask is because I'm working on my third book.
18:45:12 <sbp> yeah, sounds right
18:45:15 <Morbus> with a coauthor.

18:59:39 <sbp> DrB! dude, I have a quick burning mod_rewrite question. is it possible, for having a file at $DOCUMENT_ROOT/boing to have /something return a 200, content being the document at boing, and /boing to return a 302 redirect to /something?
18:59:50 <sbp> (or if anyone else here knows...)
18:59:53 <sbp> I spent hours hacking on it
19:00:23 <DrB> Hmm. Yeah, I guess you could do that. ... thnking ...
19:00:43 <sbp> see, now, I tried this:
19:00:43 <sbp> RewriteRule ^something$ boing [L]
19:00:43 <sbp> RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} boing$
19:00:43 <sbp> RewriteRule ^boing$ /something [R]
19:00:51 <sbp> and by rights I *really* think that should've worked
19:01:03 <DrB> This is in a .htaccess file?
19:01:06 <sbp> yeah
19:01:20 <DrB> Yeah, that's going to loop.
19:01:34 <DrB> But how to make it not loop ...
19:02:08 <DrB> Hmm. Wait. That shouldn't loop.
19:02:10 * DrB is confused.
19:02:10 <sbp> ah, but surely when it applies the first RewriteRule it shouldn't change the REQUEST_URI?
19:02:14 <sbp> yeah
19:02:19 <DrB> Why the heck do you want to do this?
19:02:31 <sbp> oh man, that's a whole other story
19:02:37 <DrB> Yes, changing REQUEST_URI is exactly what rewriterule *does*
19:02:37 <sbp> basically... [sucks in air]
19:02:41 <DrB> never mind
19:02:44 <sbp> oho, I see
19:02:54 <DrB> You don't need to explain if it's a hassle. :-)
19:03:02 <sbp> nah, the basic fact is: I want to have a tree that mirrors my ~/, containing my dotfiles
19:03:12 <sbp> but I don't want URIs like /.emacs; I'd want /emacs for that
19:03:26 <sbp> likewise, /sshconf for /.ssh/conf

19:03:40 <sbp> so I want, e.g., the file to exist at .emacs but for /.emacs to redirect to /emacs
19:03:45 <sbp> and for /emacs to serve the file at .emacs...
19:03:59 <bjoern_> I'm fairly sure /sshconf goes against Web architecture.

19:04:14 <sbp> bjoern_: heh. pardon?

19:08:15 <DrB> bjoern_: I don't at all follow the reasoning that makes that a bad URL. Perhaps some day I shall become enlightened.
19:08:30 <bjoern_> don't worry... ;-)
19:08:47 <Morbus> heh, heh
19:09:55 <DrB> sbp: And, if not that, you could PT and then E=redir:1 and then RewriteCond on the env var redir. Or ... something.

20:25:36 <kpreid> It is well-formed.
20:25:54 <kpreid> Can't say whether it's valid, since you haven't given a DTD. :)
20:25:55 <bancus> unless the bar namespace specifically allows for the inclusion of its properties in elements from the foo namespace.
20:26:49 <kpreid> bancus: XML says nothing about that. At most, you can look at the default rules some schema language provides.
20:27:14 <bancus> So you can put any property anywhere?
20:28:16 <crschmidt> yes
20:29:15 <bancus> Without restriction?
20:29:21 <bancus> Even if you use DTDs?
20:30:01 <crschmidt> Well, not neccesarily if you use DTDs, but XML itself makes no restrictions on that

20:30:18 <kpreid> DTDs are not namespace-aware.
